LAS VEGAS, NV - The second annual Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame took place at the New Tropicana Las Vegas. Among the highlights, WBC/WBA welterweight/junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. was presented with the 'Fighter of The Year' award, "Hands of Stone" Roberto Duran was inducted by one of his career rivals, Sugar Ray Leonard, and former undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield was inducted by his most famous career rival, Mike Tyson.

One thing that separates floyd from the greats here is that he lacks their balls of steel.

Well, but unlike Tyson and Holyfield, Mayweather at least came prepared to every fight. Buster Douglas and Michael Moorer moments won't happen to Mayweather.

That said, Mayweather will often avoid the riskiest fights as well.

Wait just a minute.....

"Buster Douglas and Michael Moore moments won't happen to Mayweather."

Let's not get too carried away, here. Douglas's Mom had just passed and he trained like never before. It was the single most greatest performance of his career. He was something special that night. Let's not forget that. And Moore is the greatest southpaw heavyweight champion ever. There has never been a southpaw heavyweight with his skill. The Lightheavy weight version of him was even scarier! Being that said, that was the night Holyfield developed the heart condition and couldn't gather a second wind. What did he do? He fought his heart out and the fight should've been a draw. Moore didn't take his titles away, and Holyfield didn't exactly lose them either. What did Evander do to Moore in the rematch? Exactly. Buster didn't even want the rematch against Tyson and we all know why. He was only special that one night. Tyson would've Ko'ed him in a rematch. Holyfield said to Douglas before their fight, "Once a quitter, always a quitter." And he was right.

Leonard fit

Sugar Ray Leonard looks the fittest and youngest among the fighters. He seems ready to go into the ring anytime. He sure kept himself healthy all these years. With all the fights among them, how do these fighters get to keep their teeth?

Your closing sentences remind me of JMM.

So Tyson not training had nothing to do with it?
